So why not do this? Seems low risk, and these drugs are regulated to be identical. Plus you aren't the govt - you are allowed to pick winners.

  They do that, or contract with companies (like PBMs) to do so. That's been the way this works forever. Asymptotically no one pays the ~$40k+/mo list price.

    You mean no one that has insurance pays that price. Those without insurance don't have anyone making these agreements and are SOL.

      Not necessarily true. I know a diabetic who gets her insulin for free through hardship programs she qualifies for with the drug manufacturers.

        You just have to live in poverty, one way or the other.
